Selloum Philodendron (Thaumatophyllum) Plant

This plant grows quite large, reaching up to 5 feet in height and 3 feet in width. You should plan for a significant footprint, especially if you intend to keep it indoors long-term.

No, the Philodendron Selloum is considered toxic if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets and small children.

It prefers bright, filtered light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in deep shade, which may cause the plant to become leggy.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Only if you live in USDA zones 10-11. In cooler climates, it must be kept as a houseplant or brought indoors during the winter months, as it is not frost-tolerant.

The plant ships in a 10-inch nursery pot and typically stands between 15 and 18 inches tall. It will arrive established and ready to be placed in your preferred decorative container.
